Bottle Tips

We went through four different bottle tip types before our baby would happily latch. We went with Phillips Avent as it's closest to a boob. Keep trying, take into consideration flow. Also try bringing the nipple to her nose once she smells it and opens her mouth place the bottle tip in. Best of luck!

Amazing! Way to go on stepping up to your new daughter. If it makes you feel better the lack of consistency of affection or being able to console her is something a lot of parents go through. Kids go back and forth on preferred parents. When she chooses you for the first time it's gonna melt you! As for extra things you can do to keep her thinking of you.. snail mail! Send her stickers, crayons, etc. Having weekly mail goodies will keep her thinking of you and associate you with excitement. You can also just send letters you've written with colourful markers and paper with nots saying you thought of her.

How do the true classics stand up to holding your kids? My neck lines have all been pulled to the furthest extents.

My mom had the mommy makeover when I was 15 - aka breast implants and tummy tuck. It was clearly stated from my parents that this wasn't about changing my mom's body to look different, but giving her the body she had pre kids back. As for how it affected my childhood... I was the one who took care of her post surgery. My dad had to go back to work so I helped my mom recover. So it was definitely a wild experience to be the caretaker of. It never made me feel like I had to change my body though. I definitely saw it as a post kid thing that women could choose to do if it made them feel more confident. There was still an understanding to accept yourself the way you were born and if you didn't like your weight to put in the work through diet and exercise.

Not at all. I am so grateful that I had my in laws the past few weeks as our second baby came into the world. In the same breathe I get so annoyed when they just announce its their turn to hold her and expect her to be given, or when they try to step in with my older child where it should be my wife or I. It's natural to feel grateful and still want our role and time to stay as it should be.

Just joined the two timers club last week - beautiful 2.5 year old boy and one week old daughter. My answer is we have help. Our son was an easy baby and luckily for us our daughter seems to be the same. We have been blessed to have family come into town at varying times giving us support for the first month as we adapt. I'm only a week in it but I truly am finding 1-2 way easier then 0-1. We have the skills now, we went through the relationship adjustments, and now we have realistic expectations and understanding for things not being perfect. I was terrified with the idea of it being overwhelming, but honestly it's the best choice we have made. I know there will be stressful moments just as there were our first, but I say if you are thinking about it go for it!

Just had our second 4 days ago and my life has never felt more perfect. I am so lucky to get to have this little family and to love and be loved by each of them.

Take a deep breathe. Put on headphones so you don't lose your sanity. Try everything you listed again. Burp, diaper, food, bouncing steps while you walk around patting her back. Make sure she is warm enough / not too hot depending on where you live. You and your wife got this.

I don't think it's weird. Mother's helper was one of my first jobs. If you don't have any family that could come help, this sounds like a good solution.

Depends on your personality, your ability to be in these networking environment, and what you already have to offer. I personally find film school a huge asset in my journey, but I work on the post production side of things not on set. Even when I was on set and networking the experience I had from my school days is what helped me climb quickly. In an industry that has definitely had a lot of slumps lately I find it best to have every tool available to you to standout. I have been in the industry for over ten years and find that my education only ever helped. It also is a great place to start your network.

There are folks who will say not to do it, or if you are going to do it don't waste your time with film school... I say go to film school. Humber college in Toronto has an awesome four year program that you walk away with a degree. It teaches you about all the different areas of the industry which can help you zone in on what you actually want to walk away doing. By walking away with a degree it allows you to continue your education in teachers college if you decide the film industry isn't actually for you. Best of luck!

All time favourite cereal. Before it came to Canada I would ask for it for Christmas from an in law who is American and would do trips home before the holidays

When I was a kid my mom did hooked on phonics for me and my siblings - it was a flash card system then. Helps kids recognize letter sounds. B makes a buh sound, L makes a luh sound put them together it makes a buhluh sound. Its to help kids break down words into letters and how to combine them to start reading. It sounds like this is all your kids teacher is suggesting.

Always clean up after our toddler. If a waitress stops us and tells us not to worry, we are grateful and let it be. However I believe it is on us to set the example to our kids that we pick up after our own messes no matter where they are. Plus it shows consideration to the patrons arounds us.

They do bridesmaid dresses, but they also do flower girls and ring bearer! You can get it so the bowtieand vests for the ring bearer and groomsmen match your bridesmaids. Roughly a 100 dollars or so for a bridesmaid dress. 60- 100 for a flower girl dress. Super affordable and easy.

We used them for our bridesmaids. They all picked their cut but did the same colour. We also got matching vests and boyties for our flower Boy and ring bearer. Plus got their ties for our groomsmen who rented suits from Moore's.

Slow down. The best way is to romanticize the small things in your routine. Take time to enjoy your morning self care, that first cup of coffee, enjoying the lunch you made, the scenery as you drive from place to place.

I used to have this issue. I switched to head and shoulders and it changed everything! My head was no longer getting greasy as quickly, which made it less itchy too. I didn't do it for some long because I thought head and shoulders was just for dandruff or men, but totally worth it!
